About Ango Hotels

Brand concept

“Ango” is a Zen practice in which monks gather for a period of time to live and train together after which they return to their daily duties. At Ango Hotels, we provide our guests with opportunities to come together at our hotels during their travels, to gain new insights before returning to their busy lives. We strive to create such an opportunity for our guests, hence we chose our name Ango.

Our core values

To share the Zen ideals that underly the heart of the Japanese culture, to come together, to learn, to work and to reflect on the self. Life could be likened to a journey of inner-discovery, within which our daily life is a form of training. Just as when monks gather for Ango, the insights we gain by traveling help us to deepen our understanding of the self.

Our vision

Connecting people, developing local communities, creating opportunities for self-discovery, building a better world.

Our mission

Striving to provide Life Changing Experiences

Traveling provides a moment in time, a chance to step outside of our known world and embrace new experiences through which we gain a deeper perspective about our lives.
At Ango Hotels, we aspire to provide opportunities for our guests to be inspired by life itself, to garner new resolve and to discover the self.
